A Christmas Carol - 2010

This was the beginning...

When the Amelia Earhart Playhouse in Wiesbaden unexpectedly had to cancel its 2010 Christmas production, a group appeared under the pseudonym of "The Wiesbaden Radio Players" and put together Wiesbaden's first live English language radio production. The script of choice was a radio adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" - a show that the director of the group, Mat Braun, had staged in a traditional form just three years before. And let's be honest: who doesn't like "A Christmas Carol"?

The production proved to be a tremendous success and because of the high demand for tickets, an extra matinee performance had to be added!

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.

— Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol"
